Literary types often regard Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita as the greatest love story of the 20th century. They're close, but it's actually the '80s cartoon series Robotech - specifically, it's the Macross section ofRobotech, based on the 1982 anime Super Dimension Fortress Macross, the first of the three Japanese cartoons that were cobbled together and re-edited to make the Robotechcartoon that aired in the US. While so many other children's entertainments were going on and on about true love (or avoiding the subject entirely), the Macross saga helped countless kids understand that love isn't perfect, it isn't good, and most importantly, it's never easy.Full Post

Wellwe made it. By "making it", meaning me jumping off the ship to avoid sounding like a . I've beendispleased to say the least with how the bracket has gone (not taken into consideration my torched bracket in the omochallenge, but that has been spilled milk for a while now). Partly because it makes me feel like I don't know what music is nowadays. When you have people saying things like "instrumentals/English songs shouldn't be involved in this competition", it makes me shake my head. I guess my definition of "anime music" is a lot looser than most people; if someone said this was an "Anison" contest, than maybe I'd understand.

So I've been refraining to comment on the past couple of rounds because of this feeling, but since we're running into the final four, I feel like I need to at least provide a sense of closure to myself (or at least not feeling like I just quit on this project). In going from 256 songs to 4, there's been a lot of ruminating on what songs mean for people. I still don't feel like I've got that yet, but I'll try somewhat.

I got into something new recently - well something actually so old that I haven't really thought about it since I was a teenager - plastic model kits!

Back when I was doing these, they were sprue sheets of solid white, blue, or red etc, and required painting.I remember those cursed little bottles of Tamiya paints - I loved them and hated them at the same time.I loved that I could paint all these cool model kits of robots and anime characters that I could get, and I hated that brushing them on, they were all streaky and blotchy, nothing like the way the kits looked on the box.I was fairly precise with a brush, but I lacked experience and technique, so I found these paints way too thick to go on the model kits nicely.

I remember spending days painting the radar nacelle on a Zetaplus and getting mad at how hard it was to get the paint to behave. I didnt really know about masking off sections I didnt want paint to accidentally touch, so I did all of it freehand.It was also hard to get all those black detail lines in precisely - I ended up using a black paint/water wash to wick the paint into the lines, but it took so long to do, a tiny bit at a time wiping away excess that got onto the other colors.The results were still pretty good for my level of experience, but I was not really satisfied with the results.Eventually I gave up painting them, just keeping the ones I had, sitting nicely in a display on a bookshelf all through my 20s - a bunch of Gundam kits: Zeta, a Mark II, a Zetaplus, and an Ex-S.Also, a Macross Battroid Valkyrie and a 1/4th scale 80's Dirty Pair Kei and Yuri.

Human soldiers journey into the far reaches of space to prevent earth from being destroyed.

Yamato 2199 is a remake of one of the most influential anime series of all time. Having never seen the original or any other incarnations of the Yamato series, there will be no comparisons between 2199 and previous installments.

Mari Maya is an idol by day, and a magical girl by night. Does this sound familiar?

If forced to settle on only one profession for young girls to dream of and aspire to become, anime would surely choose that of the idol. I'm not speaking of idol-specific anime- Love Live!, AKB0048, Aikatsu!, The Idolm@ster, Pretty Rhythm,Natsuiro Kiseki, and to some extent the entire Macross franchise - but rather the ubiquitous presence of idols in anime, specifically as paragons of success. I'm speaking of characters like Himari Takakura in Mawaru Penguindrum, who dreamed of becoming an idol, and watches as her two childhood friends end up living her dream. In my own first anime experience, Sailor Moon, Usagi Tsukino or as I knew her, Serena, attempts to enter an idol competition by the fourth episode. The localized title of that episode says it all, "So You Want to be a Superstar."Anime tells us that being an idol isn't just a dream, but The Dream.

Macross Plus is the creation of Shoji Kawamori and Shinichiro Watanabe. Both directors have large ties in the Mecha and Sci-fi anime genres, with Kawamori helping create the Macross series and Watanabe, who was just beginning his anime career, who would go on to create Cowboy Bebop. The combination of these two's creative minds helps make Macross Plus stand out as not only a strong part of its own universe, but also in the realm of science fiction anime.

The story of Plus follows Isamu Dyson, an overenthusiastic fighter pilot who is turned test pilot after an incident that costs him his position. He is sent the planet Eden to test the YF-19, an experimental ship in competition with rival plane called the YF-21. The two ships will perform a series of test and whichever comes out on top will be funded to be mass produced for the military. Things heat up when Isamu finds that the pilot of the YF-21 is Guld Goa Bowman, a rival/friend from his past. Also arriving on Eden is another person from Isamu's past, Myung Fang Lone. She is the producer for a digital diva named Sharon Apple who has gained popularity across Earth and Eden alike.

Macross Plus is a very character driven narrative. The plot revolves around the past between Isamu, Guld, and Myung and does a good job of creating a love triangle between the three that doesn't feel forced or unneeded. It is a huge component of the plot as it is revealed that Myung actually provides the element of emotion to Sharon, whose highly experimental programming cannot fully recreate human emotions. Normally Myung is collected enough to direct Sharon, but becomes thrown into disarray over Isamu and Guld. Sharon eventually adapts to Myung's emotional shifts, gaining a human level of consciousness, and hacks her way into a large military base. The plot moves at a satisfying pace, but anyone who enjoys action more than drama might find it lingers to a bit too much between the faster paced moments and the slower, more drawn out, character expositions.

The Revoltech line of action figures, from Kaiyodo of Japan, features an innovative joint system that allows the figure to demonstrate poses that are incredibly dynamic and more realistic than ever before. Revoltech Figure 036, Roy Focker's Strike Valkyrie VF-1S figure is based on the original anime series "Super Dimension Fortress Macross", a near future where humans use flying mechas (mechanical robots piloted by humans) to combat alien invaders. The Strike Valkyrie VF-1S action figure is 6" tall and comes with a custom base for display. The figure also has fourteen articulation points and comes equipped with removable Super Armor, weapons and accessories for different poses.

We're picking up steam now. The second round of the Animusic Tournament has already finished and we're barreling through the third round as I write. Thanks to the seeding, the first round saw only a few truly tough match-ups to choose from; but, with each round going forward, it will get more and more difficult. I was curious to see if the increased competition in the second round would further the trends seen in the first round or introduce a new direction. This post will summarize what I found.
